May 2023 - Salt Lake Staycation & Aunt Diane's Funeral

Sweet baby Remy was born to Craig & Chelsea and we got to visit her in the hospital.  She came FAST and was born at home.  She's adorable!  




For Alexa's birthday she and I did a staycation in Salt Lake.  We had a suite at a hotel, saw the new Little Mermaid movie, listened to live music in the street and ate gelato, explored temple square, went shopping at City Creek, did an escape room, ate lots of Mexican food, got Boba tea, and used electric scooters to go all over downtown Salt Lake.



Grandma Sweeny and Alexa got their nails done and got Indian food for her birthday as well :). 

Grandma Sweeny, Grandpa Sweeny, and Jonny came to Utah for Aunt Diane's funeral.  She passed very suddenly from a heart attack.  She made anyone and everyone feel comfortable and loved in their own skin, was always generous with her talents and possessions, and will be missed terribly.  

While Jonny and Grandpa were here we went to the Saratoga Temple open house and ate at In-N-Out.


Alexa graduated from 6th grade (!!) and Liam graduated from preschool.  Two big milestones for these smart, cute kids.  



I went to IHOP on a date with Tad, complete with giant pancakes and lots of refillable hot chocolate.  


For Mother's Day Kyle got me and the girls matching dresses.  If you zoom in you can see FOMO Nathan standing at the window, wondering why we won't let him join the fun.  And Tyler made me a statue for Mother's Day at school :). 

Other shenanigans.





And Audrey is still oh so adorable.

December 2024 - Christmas Fun

We were so happy to have Marmie and Grandpa fly out for the Swingle Christmas party.  Emily is the best party planner of all time and had really fun games, prizes, and yummy treats despite her whole family being sick.  Craig and Chelsea gave us a fun Christmas lantern aquarium pass for Christmas and it was amazing!  They had entire habitats full of lantern animals from all over the world.    Tyler and Alexa had their violin Christmas recital at a local care facility, which was such a great idea on their teacher's part.  Sadly, I had to join via FaceTime because I was out of town.  But they did great! We were excited to hear Ian Beagley play viola on Temple Square.  He and Alexa also put together another amazing family recital.  It gets better every year!  Ian played viola; Alexa played violin and sang; Tyler played violin; and Tad, Liam, Lincoln, and Sawyer played the piano.   One of my best friends from high school, Katie Cutr...

June 2024 - Cincinnati Sweeny Reunion & Outbuilding Renters

We had tons of fun at the Sweeny family reunion just outside Cincinnati.  We found some good flight deals so the kids were excited we didn't have to drive haha.  The house we stayed in had an indoor basketball court, outdoor sand volleyball court, a pool, and lots of space for games.  We had a great time.  We flew in early so we spent one night at Grandma and Grandpa Sweeny's house.  It was the first time our 3 youngest have been to their house so that was fun.  We saw lots of baby bunnies running all around their neighborhood, and I was grateful to stop at Yellowwood to see Uncle Ben's grave and Carolyn Guss's house. Nathan entertaining himself during our layover One of the days we hiked Hocking Hills and it was other-worldly.  So beautiful. Nathan was obsessed with Anne and only wanted to hike with her :) We also spent one afternoon at a local science museum It was so nice to have everyone together.  It's been 6 years since I've seen Adam & ...

August 2024 - Lagoon, Nathan the Racer, and Cubs with Viggo

We are in denial that summer is already over.  It went sooo fast! All of the kids earned tickets to Lagoon by doing their summer reading.  Alexa and Tyler read 5,000 pages; Tad read 2,000; and Liam read 1,000.  The three oldest also typed up a book report.  Alexa read Way of Kings; Tyler read How to Train Your Dragon and Percy Jackson; and Tad enjoyed Road Dahl, Hardy Boys, and Investigators. We headed back to school in 8th, 6th, 3rd, 1st, and preschool.  Audrey will be home by herself 3 days a week for a few hours while Nathan is in preschool, which will be a big adjustment for her.   Nathan wanted a Mario Kart birthday so we made a Mario cake and took him go karting.  He was better at driving than I expected haha.  He got the handle of the gas and brake pedals and steering wheel pretty fast.  He got more train tracks, magnet trains, Duplos, some Mario toys, and a Mario coloring book for his birthday.
